# App Installation

#### Notes before Installing Apps

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before installing, **we recommend creating a backup copy of the theme.** Creating a backup allows you to quickly and easily return the theme to a previous point in time.

Visit: [Duplicating Themes](https://help.shopify.com/manual/using-themes/managing-themes/duplicating-themes) for detailed instructions.
